THE DETAILS.

Tho Arguments Made By the Contestant,
before the Committee.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. l3.-Ths Sen.
ate Committee on Privileges and Elec.
tions has devossd several hours today to
a consideration Of the West Virginia con,
tested election case. Both tho contestants
addressed the committee and both sub.
mitted printed briefs. Thele is no dia-
agreement as to tho fact. The burden oil
Mr.. Lucasa argument is embodied in the
following from hia brief:
III the specisl uession he'd 90 yer to elect
then they have chosen Mr.. Faulkner, and
he is entitled 10 be sEorn in but if they
had no such power, then there. was no
vacancy aud thsir action is uI!ra pirss and
Intellectual, either 10 elecs Judge Faulkner
or to terminate tho title Of the incumbent,
Mr.. Lucas, who as the appointee OF the
Governor, is In that event entitled 10 be
sworn in Cd Senator until the next meet.
| ing Of tho Legislature in 1889. The Legis.
lature Of State has power to make all
laws not prohibited by the Constitution OF
the State or tha. OF the Unitod S!s!es. But
this Gpecisl Geasion is restricted to certain
business collected by tho executive to meet
an emergency"
Mr.. Lucas quoted tho provision Of the
State Constitution which declares that the
Legislature when convened in special ees.
sion ''shsll enter into no business except
that stated in the proclamation by which
it was called togsthar."
MIR. Lucas argued that the election came
under tho denomination, "business," as
used in tho Constitution and submitted
judicial opiniona from West Virginia au-
thorlties on the subject.
FAULzSER's ARGUMENT,
Mr.. Faulkner contended that tho olec.
ton Of Senator was not comprehended in
the term business" as usod in the State
Constitution and svowed that vast ma.
jority OF the judiciary and bar OF West
Virginia was Of his was Of thinking. He
declared that every question now before
the Senate Committee had been raised be-
foro the Legislature and decided in q way
favorable 10 his claim.
The decision of tho Legislature he ad-
mittsd, was not binding upon the com.
mittee; but 1t should, he argued, have q
persuasive influence. He said tiat il the
power to elect Senator was conferred by
tho State Constitution then his election
was irregular, but If the power was de.
rived from the Federal Constitution, as he
claimed, then the act of the Legislature
was reguler and bis election WAS legal.
The committes DISCUSSED the matter for
an hour and determined unanimously 10

the seat. ~.

the report of Commissioner Coleman of the success of the experimental station of the government at Fort Scott, Kansas. The de- partment of agriculture has been experi- menting at Rio Grande, New Jersey, and at Fort Scott with view to the determination of the possibilities of making sugar from sorghum. Last year the results were not en- tirely satisfactory, and the wisdom of further attempts was seriously questioned. The ex- perience gained, however, has led to improve ments which resulted this year in success, and convinced the commissioner that the manufacture of sugar from sorghum can be made profitable industry. The diffusion process is employed. The cane is cut into chips and exposed to the influence of an elec- trio battery; it is here saturated with hot water, the combined influence of the applica- tions being the complete exhaustion of the saccharipe matter, which is readily crystal lized in the ordinary way. In Kansas from ten to fifteen tons of cane to the acre are produced, yielding from 1,200 to 1,500 pounds of sugar. Every ton of cane pro duces also ten or twelve gallons of molasses, while the seed is still valuable for feeding the stock

A Prelude.

He comes at last, our pavements feel The click of his fantastic heel; The campus once more knows his voice, The student comes; lament, rejoice. Now soft eyes brighter yet shall glow And roses bloom on cheeks of snow, And heath the shade of stately elm Once more shall cupid guide.the helm Once more shall dudes and dudfnes sail Around like feathers in gale, And on our broad historic Green Their slender forms will soon be seen. As wand'ring chicks at last come home, So one by one the students come; Their best loved roost, the campus fence, Shall feel their weight for long months kence. Once more up to the evening skies Shall cigarettes rank incense rise, And passing females plain or fair Be greeted with: 'Ah there! Stay there!'' And soon the old familiar bell Wilt gladly of his coming tell; And through each room and door and hall Will ring his voice and cheery call. Soon will prevailing smell of beer Bear ample prooe that he is near. And mighty lungs and agile jaw Will sound their sturdy ''Rah! Rah! Rah." Tradesmen of high and low degree Are tickled most to death to seq His form before their counters stand With ref1lled pocketbook in hand. He bringeth joy, he bringeth woe; Sometimes too fast, sometimes too slow. Why this is so we cannot say, Perhaps ecause he's built that way. He is cross, if nothing more, Between a blessing and curse We sometimes wish he'd come to stay, Then wish to heaven he'd stay away. But still w must say after all We do feel proud when he plays ball; And when he wins race with boat We yell enough to split our throat. Therefore the honest truth to tell, We guess hell average pretty well. And so instead of curse or ban Let 8 make the best of him we can.

APRomIsING RxPRRIMENT.

One of tie most promising experiments in prison work is that which has been under- taken in the State prison at Trenton, New Jersey where 8 night school for the convicts has been opened. A room has been set apart and furnished with school desks for thirty pupils, maps, blackboards, etc. At the opening session last week 1t was found that one hundred and thirty out of the one thousand persons in the prison desired to avail themselves of the school privileges, so that it was necessary to form four classes, each having it's session from to 9 o'clock, on different nights. Twenty-Five convicts took their places at the desks on the first night, and the teachers were two we'll edu- eated men who were in prison for financial crookedness. Turkeys were present, of course, to guard against any disturbance, but the pupils seemed delighted and earnest in their work, and there were no signs of in- subordination.
 The working of this experiment will be watched with deep interest by all interested in social problems. It does not seem likely to prove a failure if it is conducted as it should be and easily may be. As the Springfield Union says: When the convict goes to his cell at night he is confined to his thoughts, which in many cases are vicious and degrading. Let him turn his mind to something better for few hours and the leaven of intelligence can hardly fall to work improvement in his mind and lead to a gro N- ing self-respect and desire for more hon- orable life. The hours spent in the school room will prove such 8 welcome relief to the monotony of prison life that he will be very careful not to forfeit his privilege. The eff fort to elevate him through education will correct his notion that society is his enemy and that nothing remains for him after his release but to return to his old life and be more careful not to get caught. There are incorrigibles who would not be helped by mental training, but for young convicts the experiment cannot fail to be helpful and en- couraging.
 To be sure, education will not be certain to reform criminal, but it will not hurt many of them.

A TEA FASTER.
He Has R Rufned Ills DigestiOns BU
 Has Two Enjoyments Left.

 From the Philadelphia Press.l
 In one of the pretty summer houses on the bluff, in front of the Rowland, young looking man sat this morning peering through an open glass directed at group of girls in bathing He wore a suit of white serge,
 with a dark gray flannel shirt tied loosely with sailor knot, straw hat, and around his waist was wide cloth belt that had 8
 lot of gold cording on it. I was told that 1t
 was some sort of Chinese scarf. There was blase air of unconcern about him, as if he had seen everybody worth seeing in the world and was only studying the specimens of feminine anatomy before him because he
 had nothing else to do. lie was looking through a powerful set of lenses, though, for an acquaintance to whom he condescend- ingly suggested @ trial assured me that he could easily see the very stitching in the bathing suits "I would not have come down here," said the young man with the lorgnettes, ''if I had not remembered that the prettiest forms saw anywhere last sum- mer were here. It's really the only pleasure have" he added, adjusting the glasses at 8 rather plump girl in white flannel bathing dress.
 "By Joe, she's sumner" he exclaimed, after giving her thorough inspection through the glasses. Then, peering at her u, "Ah. but she's wearing stays"
 All unconscious of the fact that every move they made was being watched and commented on, the girls jumped and romped around in the surf, but the tired young man kept on in his peculiar occupation. He is at it every morning am told. No one knows how he spends the rest of his time. He has seen everything. been everywhere, and there is constant look of ennui and depression on his face, as if he thought that life were scarcely worth the living. He is queer in dividaal and he follows strange pursuit. It is tasting tea He samples it for half g dozen of the biggest houses in the country ! and earns about twenty-five thousand dol lars year by it. He has the reputation of knowing more about teas than anyone else | in the country. It is at the sacrifice of his stomach and good digestion that he has earned the reputation, for both are ruined, ! though he is still young man.
 The only thing that he really enjoys in the way of nourishment is @ cup of tea that he ! brews himself every morning. It is made ot leaves that in China are used only for the | imperial family and cost twenty-five dollars ! pound. He boils it over 8 gas jet, then {! pours it into the thinnest sort of blue cht- | na cup-almost as thin as champagne glass. \ Then he sips it as he lies in bed, and It brings on dreamy sensation whicH, he de- clares, is the one delight of his life. It lasts ! from two to three hours and then passes away. Unlike opium, no bad effects are ief' | behind, for he is over it as soon as he moves about and skakes off the drowsiness. Ther
 he takes his opera glasses and goes over IT the Long Branch girl.
